Birchwood Café – First On Street Bike Parking in Minneapolis!
The Birchwood Café in the Seward Neighborhood has gone bike crazy! With the addition of the first on street bike parking allowed in the city of Minneapolis, Birchwood has added parking for 16 customers on bikes in a space that would normally hold only 2 cars. They have more than doubled their previous bike parking and also added a Nice Ride MN kiosk which holds 15 of the popular bike share bikes.
This is cool, for sure, but it’s not the first. Several years ago there were on-street bike corrals on Lake and on Hennepin in Uptown. The Uptown Business Association is negotiating with the city to have them removed from storage and placed on the street next spring.
Thank you! This helps sooooo much. We need more bike parking in Minneapolis!
